Advance Care Planning

At NCS, we take great pride in our roles as physicians, nurses and staff members who together make up a great medical team.  We are also spouses, children, parents, community members, outdoor sports enthusiasts and musicians...who recognize the importance of thinking about what matters most to us and of planning for the future.  Advance Care Planning allows us to have caring conversations with our own families and our own doctors, to ensure we get the medical care which best fits our values and priorities.
